So I have a Apple Watch I brought from Craig’s ... it isn’t locked nor is it password protected. What it does have is several functions that are disabled. Power slider disabled, reset button disabled and won’t allow pairing. Please help
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 3
Based on your description, the Apple Watch has not been unpaired and erased by the previous owner.
I suggest that you return the watch to the seller. If they are not able to erase the Apple Watch and prepare it for you to use as your own, then I suggest that you request a refund.

Hi
When Apple Watch is on the charger and connected to power, it cannot be turned off; that is normal and the Power slider is not supposed to work.
If the Apple Watch has not yet been erased, then follow the instructions here, under the heading "Erase your Apple Watch":
Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
The watch may also be protected by Activation Lock. If so, ask the previous owner to follow the instructions here:
About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
To pair and set up the Apple Watch with a compatible model of iPhone, follow the instructions here:
Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If you still need assistance, then I suggest that you contact Apple Support via the link in the previous article. If the watch is faulty, then I suggest that you consider returning it for a refund.

So to be clear this was purchased from an individual seller. No passcode no iCloud lock.
The slider not responding / greyed out isn’t connected to the charger.
Also my phone doesn’t recognize it for pairing.
So I tried this and it didn’t work but I did toggle through some menus and noticed a small green iPhone in the upper left corner.
Is this watch paired with someone’s iPhone?
Again no password or iCloud lock.
If the Apple Watch cannot be restarted normally, then it may help to force restart it by following the instructions here:
I’ve also noticed the reset button in general settings is greyed out as well.
Ouch
Thanks
I thought passcode and iCloud were the things to watch out for :(
